vestigations.  HPD said none of its officers were involved in the shooting, which Whitmire also said meant they lacked jurisdiction to investigate.

Friday morning, before Whitmire's directive, Diaz sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI stating the Houston Police Department recognized it had  no independent jurisdiction  over a potential investigation and that HPD would make all resources available to the federal agencies for their investigation.

Diaz echoed concerns during Friday's news conference, saying city police did not have the jurisdiction or access to evidence needed to complete a full investigation.

Salgado Araujo was not the target of ICE's operation, U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Houston, told The Texas Tribune on Thursday after she had spoken to acting ICE Director David Venturella. Diaz said information brought in part by Garcia's questioning of ICE actions shifted the police department's stance on whether to more aggressively pursue its own investigation.

 The facts have changed, right? So now we hear, because of the congresswoman's great work, that the wrong person was in the van, and well, perhaps it was the wrong van,  Diaz said.  Those are concerning, and they should be concerning to everybody in the community. 

DHS has said they were given a tip from a local law enforcement partner before pursuing Salgado Araujo's van. Diaz repeatedly said the tip did not come from Houston's police department.

Texas' Department of Public Safety and the Harris County Sheriff's office, in statements to the Tribune, also said they did not provide the tip to ICE.

Garcia said during Friday's news conference that none of the ICE agents involved had body cameras or dashboard cameras inside the unmarked car the agents used to pull over Salgado Araujo's car.
